Happy People: A Year in the Taiga

Werner Herzog (Encounters at the End of the World, Cave of Forgotten Dreams) contributes another wild, earthy documentary. This one takes us to the heart of the Siberian taiga. Far from modern civilization, he finds people whose lives have not changed in centuries. Following one of these isolated trappers for an entire year, the film shows people triumphing amid the harshest conditions on Earth. 90 minutes Unrated.
